The Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments Tuesday in two very different cases, each of which raise questions of Native American sovereignty.

The first case, Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo v. Texas, asks the justices to rule on the right of native tribes in Texas to run gaming operations that contravene Texas state law. The second, Denezpi v. United States, inquires whether the double jeopardy clause of the U.S. Constitution is triggered by a criminal prosecution in tribal court.
